YouTube reviewer extraordinaire peaugh has uploaded a review of the highly anticipated Transformers United Rumble & Frenzy. US fans are getting a little nervous about actually being able to find the domestic versions of these guys. See what peaugh thought about these guys below.

Hasbro excetutive # 1: "His G1 alt mode is boring for kids to play with."

Hasbro excetutive # 2: "Just follow the standard protocol and make him a tank."

Hasbro excetutive # 3: "Tanks are fun."

Yeah I admit it, Im 34 so I dont sit well with changing G1 concepts. Isnt that what we have other lines for ??? It's funny how the robot mode is made to target collectors and the alt mode is made to target kids.

Am I the only one who enjoyed playing with tape decks, cassettes, microscopes, and cameras as a kid ??? When I wanted to play with a car, tank, plane, or beast, there were so many other options. It was these characters unique alt modes that made them so cool. I guess they fired the guy that made Ravage transform into a cassette. (with classics Hound) Horrors...

Maybe this is coming from he fact that I've been watching Dr. Who, but does RIRFIB's tank mode remind anyone else of a modified Dalek?

I understand your point and I'll also admit that Hasbro/TT do not always hit the mark, but in this case I think they did they best with what they had. Now, personally, I would have loved articulated a Rumble/Frenzy mold that turned into a cassette but i doubt children these days would. Especially, without an updated Soundwave to interact with. (Maybe a reason why the RTS version didnt even mention SW in the bio?) And if Hasbro/TT would have gone the cassette route, we would have kissed the piledrivers goodbye. So, I think they did a decent job with trying to update the character to appeal to todays generation and accomodate the original figures.

Got these Friday, not very impressed. Both are floppy, the pile driver gimmick goes off constantly, they look awkward in all modes, their alt modes don't peg together very well. I got these guys to be my WFC versions of the characters, classics shelf is already occupied by the PE versions. PE wins this round IMHO.

I want these guys but I don't know if it's a $50+ want. Especially since I have the Shadow Warrior versions.

I have to say this review was the first thing that really made me want these two. But now, since they have become hard to find, and are $50+ when they can be.

I'll stick with the Shadow Warrior versions too.
